That particular MBZ is an odd duck out, it is rated very high for reliability, which is odd for a MBZ these days.
However, you do have to realize that owning a German car is more expensive than say a Lexus. This car in particular runs an average of $1,178 a year to maintain, that's just to maintain it, not to repair it, whereas a Lexus will run an average of $549 a year to maintain it.
The other issue is that on average that particular MBZ engine only last 200,000 miles, while a Lexus GX450 will last over 300,000 miles
If you don't mind paying the higher expense for that vehicle then get it, because the reliability is very high on it, but I worry about the longevity of the engine.
All figures of cost and miles are averages, which I kept saying, so that means it could last longer or shorter, it could cost more or less. I know that sounds nuts that I have to explain that but I get people all that time that will come back and say their car lasted a billion miles so I'm wrong.
